New Bucket Seats !! FINALLY !!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BraveDave · 08-29-2005, 12:42 AM

I have been hunting for a set of buckets for my '72 for a long, long time. I finally scored a set on ebay. I probably could gotten them locally for a lot less, but not if you count the hours it would have taken to drive all over town looking for them. I should have them this week. Good Guys is coming up soon and I plan to drive the 275 miles in total comfort. I intend to remove the headrests and slap these babies in. I don't know if you have looked for seats on ebay, but if you are looking for anything other than grey cloth, don't bother. I was hoping to find something like this in blue, but that just wasn't happening. Oh well, all I know is that I will finally be able to drive my truck with my legs stretched out! WOOHOO!!

Those look real nice! Are they aftermarket or what are they out of?

They look pretty comfortable Dave! Maybe some of us can meet up at Good guys. I'd like to see your truck.
